When we first wrote to the SEC's Crypto Task Force in May 2025, tokenized RWAs were at $12.2B market, and stablecoins were at $233B.
Today, tokenized RWAs are at $38.8B, and stablecoins have grown to $306B.
Plume has been putting its views on tokenization in front of the SEC that entire time. Written input, a meeting with Task Force staff, House testimony, and most recently a framework on vaults (Much of it public).
Vaults have been part of that record from day one.
In our May 2025 letter, we proposed that registered investment companies use Plume Vaults, as the back-end for onchain open-end funds.
In his March 2026 testimony to the House Financial Services Committee,
@banamlas urged the SEC to let registered funds hold assets through onchain vault architectures.
In July, Commissioner Peirce invited builders bringing asset management onchain to help shape new rules and guidance for vault protocols.
As the developer of Plume Vaults, we took her up on it. In September, we met with the SEC and sent the Task Force a framework recommending that vault regulation sit with the curator and the vault token product (depending on specific facts and circumstances), not the neutral protocol layer nor the vault administrator.
Plume was among the first to put onchain vaults forward to the SEC as a structure for tokenized funds and real-world assets.
